Honestly, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who struggled with those questions. Oh well, I'll just have to study harder, I guess.

Your English Skills: Punctuation: 80% Spelling: 80% Grammar: 60% Vocabulary: 20% Does Your English Cut the Mustard?http://www.blogthings.com/doesyourenglishcutthemustardquiz/After doing this, I tried changing the answers to see which ones are right. I have a question about question 14. I'm pretty sure that punctuation goes outside of quotation marks. Is this a British English vs. US English difference?

I'd say it's the American standard since the author lives in Colorado.

Yami no Hitokiri I'd say it's the American standard since the author lives in Colorado. I know that the quiz is in American English. I just want to confirm that the punctuation is actually supposed to be outside of the quotation marks in British English.

The MoUsY spell-checker Yami no Hitokiri I'd say it's the American standard since the author lives in Colorado. I know that the quiz is in American English. I just want to confirm that the punctuation is actually supposed to be outside of the quotation marks in British English. I see. I've always learned the opposite way too. Yes I'm in America.

I'm still confused about the whole quotes and punctuation thing. I honestly don't know which way it should be.
"Let's go to the store," said Bob.
I know that's correct. But what about... it's "this and that", not "piss and bat". Do the comma and period belong inside or outside of the quotes?
